BF II don't start

Hello,

I am reaching out to support because Star Wars Battlefront II has not been working for several weeks and I have exhausted every solution I could find.

Exact symptom: the game launches, the window opens for about 2 seconds, it attempts to go fullscreen, then silently closes and reopens the EA launcher. No error message, no error code, nothing. Sometimes it accepts to launch once or twice, then stops working entirely afterwards, without any changes made on my end between sessions.

System configuration:

- GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT

- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9700X

- Secure Boot: Enabled

- BIOS Mode: UEFI

- Game purchased via Steam, tested via both Steam AND the EA App

 

Troubleshooting steps already attempted without success:

- Full uninstall of the game (including system files) and reinstall

- Clean AMD driver reinstall using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller)

- Disabled Radeon Anti-Lag

- Installed Visual C++ Redistributable 2015-2022 x64 and x86

- Cleared the EA App cache

- Verified game file integrity via Steam (no corrupted files detected)

- Reinstalled EA AntiCheat via EAAntiCheat.Installer as administrator

- Checked environment variables (no GAME_DATA_DIR present)

- Disabled DirectX 12 in the game config files

- Checked Windows Event Viewer (no error logged at the time of the crash)

 

I suspect the issue is related to EA Javelin AntiCheat silently killing the process, as the behavior matches exactly: silent crash with no message, random between sessions, no trace in Windows logs.

I saw that both: 

SWB2 crashes when the game starts. | EA Forums - 13430650 and 

SWB2 crashes when the game starts. | EA Forums - 13430650SWB2 crashes when the game starts. | EA Forums - 13430650

seems to have the same problem, I hope you're gonna find what is wrong with it

 

Thank you for your help in resolving this issue.

    Two things of interest in that DXDIAG report:

    1. Disk drives are not listed like they normally are. (Did you exclude from the report?) Not having enough disk space may be causing your issue, but not likely IMO.
    2. There are multiple issues showing in the Diagnostics section at the bottom. It shows you're having memory issues with multiple games. Do a memory test to see if your memory went bad.

    The combination of items 1 and 2 suggests you may want to ensure your virtual memory settings are sufficient.
